5 STYLE SECRETS

1 I CAN’T live without mascara — I like a brand called Illamasqua — and a good brush for blow-drying because I have incredibly curly hair.

2 BE ORGANISED. If I’ve half an hour, I say to myself: ‘Right, I’ve four shows next week and this event to go to, what am I going to wear?’ Then I line everything up in my dressing room for the days ahead. Doing that means I have more time with the family.

3 THIS may be cliched, but looking good is more about how you feel inside. You could be wearing the most amazing outfit, but if you don’t feel good about yourself, that’s what you radiate. Take Meryl Streep, I can’t tell you what it is about her style that I admire, it’s more the fact that she is comfortable in her own skin, which shines through.

4 INVEST in special items. I have the most amazing Celine dress from five or six years ago that I could put on tomorrow and it would still look fresh.

5 PLAN ahead and prep, prep, prep. If I’ve already had my nails done, applied a fake tan the night before and my hair’s clean, then I can get ready in ten minutes. But if I’ve got to start those shenanigans from scratch, it all takes me a lot longer.
